If his name isn't Orr, Jim, what is it?" She shot a quick glance at him. "Good Lord!" muttered Jim profanely. He drew the car up at the side of the road and stopped it.

The ceiling at once rose to greater altitudes, and at the same moment an old face with bushy whiskers crawled under the edge of it, and asked him profanely what he meant by it. It also asked him whether he wanted something for himself, because, if so, he was going the right way to work. "Where am I?" demanded the bewildered doctor. "Mary! Mary!"
I believe he and the portier talked it over at great length, but, so far as I am aware, without arriving at any solution. I took little heed of the matter, being now fully absorbed in my studies; and it is to be hoped that Herr Kragendorf was not of a nervous temperament, otherwise he must have inveighed profanely against the constant piano-practice that went on over his head.
It is done in the same way; it is done profanely, not piously; by management, by tactics and clamor."

Some looked grave and thought of it seriously; others laughed and treated it lightly; a few grumbled and spoke profanely; but most of them became quickly reconciled, and in a week or two nearly all forgot the past and the future in the duties, and cares, and amusements of the present.
In the interval which preceded the opening of the Bowery Theatre, New York, Forrest appeared at the Park for the benefit of Woodhull, playing Othello. He made a pronounced success, his old manager sitting in front, profanely exclaiming, "By God, the boy has made a hit!" This was a great event, as the Park was then the leading theatre of America, and its actors were the most famous and exclusive.

He swore again, profanely asking something occult why he should be singled out to be made miserable on a day like this?
The Sloshers crowded round me, and said I was welcome. "What a beautiful brest-pin you've got," said one of 'em. "Permit me," and he took it out of my neckercher. "Isn't it luvly," he said, parsin it to another, who parsed it to another. It was given me by my Aunt, on my promisin her I'd never swear profanely; and I never have, except on very special occasions.
Heldar has yet to prove himself out of danger. 'Wow wow wow wow wow! said Dick, profanely. 'It's a clumsy ending and vile journalese, but it's quite true. And yet, he sprang to his feet and snatched at the manuscript, 'you scarred, deboshed, battered old gladiator! you're sent out when a war begins, to minister to the blind, brutal, British public's bestial thirst for blood.
I watch like a lynx, as a sentry should do, With an eye like a hawk, and a smile sweet as syrup; But when there's a chance for 'a thrust whirraroo! My bayonet-point is agog for a stir up! JOE, the Sentry, you know, like Joe Bagstock, is sly, Ay, "devilish sly," if I may speak profanely. That swashbuckler H-RC-RT now, swaggering there why, The big burly Bobadil's acting insanely.
